Hot Potato was a small talented team pioneering social event-based check-ins that proved exciting enough to be <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2010/08/20/facebook-buys-hot-potato/">acquired by Facebook</a>. I designed the entire iOS interface as well as the majority of the web interface. The goal was to make an easy way to write what you were doing out of a set of common shareable actions. I developed a UI to quickly state what it was via pictograms and then select from popular activities currently trending - or write your own. There was a rewards system with a an adorable array of badges that I illustrated and remain proud of. Part of me is sad to see the particular app go (I still have the icon on my iPhone home screen), but am happy to see these features popping up in other applications like Foursquare and Facebook.
